Ukucamngca kwanamhlanje: Ukuza kukaYesu Kristu
Sazisa ukuba uKrestu uzokuza. Ngapha koko, ukuza kwakhe akukho kwahlukile, kodwa kukho okwesibini, okuya kuba nobuqaqawuli ngakumbi kunangaphambili. Eyokuqala, enyanisweni, yayinetywina lokubandezeleka, enye iya kuthwala isithsaba sobukumkani basebukhosini. Kunokuthiwa phantse kuyo yonke iNkosi yethu uYesu Krestu yonke imicimbi iphindwe kabini. Isizukulwana simbini, esinye sivela kuThixo uYise, ngaphambi kwexesha, kwaye esinye, ukuzalwa komntu, ukusuka kwintombi enyulu ngokuzeleyo kwexesha.
Kukwakhona nemvelaphi emibini embalini. Ixesha lokuqala lafika ngendlela emnyama kunye ethe cwaka, ngathi yimvula eboyeni. Ixesha lesibini liya kuza kwixesha elizayo ngobuqaqawuli kunye nokucaca phambi kwamehlo abo bonke.
Ekuzeni kwakhe okokuqala wayesongelwe ngezithandelo kwaye wabekwa esitalini, okwesibini uya kunxiba ukukhanya njengengubo. Kwokuqala wamkela umnqamlezo ngaphandle kokwala ihlazo, kwelinye uya kuhamba phambili ehanjiswa ziingelosi kwaye uya kuzala luzuko.
Ke masingacamngci ngokuza kokuqala, kodwa siphila ngokulindela owesibini. Kwaye njengokuba kwakweli lokuqala besisithi: "Unoyolo oza egameni leNkosi" (Mt 21: 9), siya kuvakalisa indumiso efanayo kwisibini. Ngale ndlela, ukuya kudibana neNkosi kunye neengelosi kwaye siyamdumisa siya kuvuma: "Unoyolo lowo uzayo egameni leNkosi" (Mt 21: 9).
UMsindisi akazukugwetywa kwakhona, kodwa eze kugweba abo bamgwebayo. Lowo, owathi cwaka xa kugwetywa yena, uya kuwukhumbula umsebenzi wabo kwabangendawo, owamenza ukuba aphathwe kakubi ngumnqamlezo, athi komnye wabo: "Nenze njalo, andivulanga mlomo wam" (cf Ps 38 , 10).
Ke kwicebo lothando lenceba weza kufundisa amadoda ngokuqina okumnandi, kodwa ekugqibeleni wonke umntu, nokuba bayafuna okanye bayakufuna, uya kufuneka azithobe kulawulo lwasebukhosini.
Umprofeti uMalaki uxela kwangaphambili ngokuza kweNkosi: "Kwaye kwangoko iNkosi eniyifunayo iya kungena etempileni yayo" (Ml 3: 1). Nanku ukuza kokuqala. Kwaye ngoku malunga nowesibini uthi: «Nantsi ingelosi yomnqophiso, oncwinayo, nanko esiza ... Ngubani na oya kuyinyamezela imini yokuza kwakhe? Ngubani onokumelana nokubonakala kwayo? Unjengomlilo wesinyibilikisi kunye neseyi yabahlambi. Uya kuhlala phantsi anyibilike kwaye ahlambulule "(Ml 3, 1-3).
UPawulos ukwathetha ngezi zinto zimbini zazisiza, ebhalela uTito ngale ndlela: "Lubonakele ubabalo lukaThixo luzisa usindiso kubo bonke, olusifundisa ukuba singavumi ukungahloneli Thixo neminqweno yehlabathi, sihlale ngokunesidima, nangokusesikweni, nangokwenene kweli hlabathi. silinde ithemba elinoyolo, nembonakalo yobuqaqawuli boThixo omkhulu noMsindisi wethu uYesu Krestu "(Tit 2: 11-13). Uyabona indlela awathetha ngayo ngokuza kokuqala wambulela uThixo ngako? Kwelinye icala, okwesibini kuyenza icace into yokuba yile nto siyilindeleyo.
Olu ke ukholo olu ke siluvakalisayo: ukuba sikholwe kuKristu, unyukele ezulwini, ehleli ngasekunene kukaYise. Uya kuza esebuqaqawulini, ukuba eze kugweba abaphilayo nabafileyo. Nobukumkani bakhe abuyi kuphela.
Ngenxa yoko, iNkosi yethu uYesu Kristu iya kuza ivela ezulwini; uya kuza esebuqaqawulini ekupheleni kwehlabathi elidaliweyo, ngomhla wokugqibela. Kuya kubakho ke ukuphela kweli hlabathi, kunye nokuzalwa kwehlabathi elitsha.
